Abstract

The construct of employee Self-efficacy has received increasing empirical attention in the organizational behaviours literature. People who think that they can better perform on a task do better than who think they will fail. Differences in employee self- efficacy are associated with the employee performance (Andrew,2015). After more than three decades of civil war in the north and eastern provinces, number of changes has been introduced by the government of Sri Lanka focusing on a fast and significant development in the education sector.  Researchers and practitioners have both found employee change self-efficacy to be a critical factor in successful employee performance. This study was conducted with a main objective to examine the influence of employee change self-efficacy on employee performance, focusing on the government schools in the Eastern Province of Sri Lanka. The sample of this study was the teachers of government schools in the Eastern Province. Hence the primary data was collected from 100 teachers from the study area by using a survey questionnaire. Further it was analyzed using the method of descriptive analysis to explore the nature of the sample group, and bivariate analysis was performed to assess the relationships between the study variables.  The Results of this study revealed that the employee change self-efficacy was significantly and positively correlated with employee performance.
